This sure enough felt like a middle finger to the rest of the world when North Korea launched a 'satellite' in space on a (missile) rocket launcher. It definitely looked like one from all the Google images that were shown on CNN and other american news stations. Kim Jong Il doesn't care and imposing sanctions on these destructive minds only makes their resolve stronger. But there aren't many options for the UN Security Council regarding this.
The G20 summit happened in London last week and the Europe went ga-ga over Barack and Michelle Obama. Too much importance was given to Michelle Obama than the summit itself. Over a trillion $$ pledged to the IMF et. al by the developed nations. Good for them. Where is the money going to come from?
Election campaigns in India are taking steam and the public is noticing every move made by the biggies (UPA and NDA). I strongly believe, UPA will form the next government and Dr. Singh will continue to be the PM. Unless, NDA has something really good to counter the UPA offensive.
As I write this, India is all but getting ready to win their test series in New Zealand. Barring the couple of losses in the T20 games, Indians were utterly dominating in their ODI and Test matches. I don't care if they lose all their matches till the next World Cup, but they better regain this mindset of winning when the tournament is on. Surely, with the WC in the sub-continent, India will feel the added pressure and crowd support will be second to none for the home-team.
The fashion week, which is going on in Mumbai currently, looks like it has been sponsored by Bollywood. Major names from SRK and Akshay Kumar are headlining the event which is supposed to be a showcase event for the models. Guess they will be joining the un-employed queue as well. The recession isn't sparing anyone.
